10 MAINTENANCE
The Elcometer 406L Statistical Glossmeter is designed to give many years reliable service under normal
operating and storage conditions.
Regular calibration checks over the life of the gauge and the certified calibration tile are a requirement of
quality management procedures, e.g. ISO 9000, and other similar standards. The date of last certification
of the gauge is shown when the gauge is switched on. For checks and certification contact your local
